2006 – Finnieston Bridge, Glasgow
Architect: Halcrow Group
The £20.3m Finnieston Bridge was intended to be a dramatic new landmark for Glasgow, featuring a central arch span which crosses the river at an angle between the roundabout at Broomielaw/Finnieston Street and the south side of the river. It accommodates four lanes; two dedicated to public transport and two for private and commercial traffic, with additional pedestrian and cyclist paths. It will also allow for the provision of a possible future Light Rapid Transit scheme.
